Content

Students are familiar with the design and operation of systems for heating and cooling of buildings. They are able to identify and analyse the most relevant components including DHW- (Domestic Hot Water) generation and distribution systems. The students know different systems for heat production, heat distribution and heat dissipation in a building. The same applies to the cooling case. They understand the thermodynamic processes of heat pumps and air conditioners and can calculate and discuss system performance figures. The students can perform simple design calculations of the technical systems and estimate reasonable applications.

Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

Students know the terms "heat", "heat flow", "power", "exergy", "anergy", "efficiency", "coefficient of performance" and "Carnot efficiency" and can describe them.

Students know the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and thermal engineering as well as the limiting basic equations and can apply these to systems.

Students know the most important technologies for heating and cooling in building technology and can describe and outline these technologies.

Students are able to calculate system and efficiency parameters of heating and cooling systems using practical examples.

Students are familiar with technical options for heating and cooling in buildings and can outline these. They know the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies as well as key figures to describe the systems and their efficiency. They will be able to plan these systems conceptually and assess the plausibility of offers. They will also be able to make basic techno-economic assessments of the respective technologies.
